[quote=Anonymous]Enrolling in a Scouting program is a good way for the kids to develop an appreciation for outdoor activities and learn some basic outdoor skills. At the elementary school level, these programs all rely on parental involvement, so you and/or your DH will need to participate with the kids. I also think it's totally OK for you to say that you don't know how to do these things either, but you want to learn along with your kids. Pick a project like planting a small garden - it can even just be a few pots of herbs, or some fall flowers like marigolds planted around the edge of the yard. When things get back to normal, Home Depot has really good kids classes on Saturday for basic woodworking / painting type things. Outsourcing lessons for swimming, skiing, golf, bike riding, etc is all totally fine. [/quote]
